School Uniform

At St Mary’s we believe that our uniform encourages a sense of pride in appearance and a feeling of belonging to the school family. This assists in developing high standards in other aspects of school life. All children are expected to wear uniform and the rules concerning uniform are very clear and continually enforced.

Details of the uniform are listed below and are available from www.myschoolstyle.com. Please note that only a limited stock of uniform is available fom the school office.

In general terms, jewellery is not allowed at any time except for a wrist watch. The only other exception is where a child already has pierced ears, then one pair only of small plain studs in the ear lobe are acceptable but not encouraged. The school will not be held responsible for any injury or loss caused as a result of wearing them. Staff may ask that plasters are provided to cover pierced ears during PE.

Parents / Carers are asked to note that neither the Local Authority nor Governors accept liability for loss of or damage to personal property whilst on or left at the school or school site.

For reasons of Health & Safety, children should not wear any jewellery to school. If Parents / Carers are unwilling to support this advice, a letter or disclaimer must be completed and given to the Head Teacher.

General Appearance

It is expected that hair cuts will be conventional and children are presented in a smart way.

Nail varnish or make-up is not permitted.

Skirts & Culottes are to be of a reasonable length (i.e. knee length).

Stikins ® school name labels are a revolutionary alternative to traditional methods of labelling school uniform and save parents time and money. These stick on name labels simply peel off their backing sheet and can be applied onto the wash-care label of clothing or onto all kinds of personal items.

Stikins ® are a thoroughly modern alternative to sew-in and iron-on name labels. They simply stick in and stay in so parents can label dozens of items quickly and easily, with no fuss, no mess, and not an iron or sewing needle in sight!

With a simple one-step application process, Stikins ® are multipurpose name labels that can be used to label all of a child’s belongings safely and securely in minutes, saving busy families plenty of time to get on with the more important things in life.
